The ambassador of the Social Work of the entities associated with CECA, Ona Carbonell, participates in a meeting organized with Fundación Ibercaja on the initiatives launched in the field of Social Work in the Community of Aragon

CECA and Fundación Ibercaja organized a conference on Social Work this Wednesday, September 29, in Zaragoza, where they reviewed the most relevant initiatives carried out in this area at the regional level. The event featured the participation of Mayte Santos, Head of the Professional Development Area of Fundación Ibercaja, and Ona Carbonell, ambassador of the Social Work of CECA.

According to Ona Carbonell during the meeting, “2020 has been a very hard year for all Spaniards, especially for the most vulnerable groups. In this context, as ambassador of the Social Work of CECA, I am proud to see how the entities and foundations affiliated with CECA have focused their efforts on combating the health and social emergency.” As Ona highlighted, “a total of nearly 25 million people have been helped and supported through the launch of 49,000 activities.”

Following the impact of the pandemic, all entities associated with CECA acted quickly to reorient and adapt their programs to digital formats, reallocating resources with the ultimate goal of supporting society, especially the most needy groups, those at risk of exclusion. In Ona Carbonell’s words, in such complicated times, when it is necessary to reach so many people, the CECA sector has demonstrated that “the fundamental thing is professionalism, experience, and agility in decision-making, similar to what happens at a sports level.”
